“When following God, Zero we never find.”
Dejan Stojanovic“You can make your marriage a little bit of heaven on earth by following God's plan of teamwork.”
Jim George, A Husband After God's Own Heart“Having a set of goals is a good thing for many people. But when a goal takes your focus off God and His daily intentions for you, it can cause trouble. Being driven by my plans can shift the focus of my heart from following God and being open to His unfolding invitations, to following only that which leads me closer to my desires. For me, I started falling into a trap of making plans each day around what I wanted to see happen. Anything that wasn’t part of my plan became a distraction and an unwelcome interruption.”
Lysa TerKeurst“Our sin is our resistance to going along with God's initiative in making suffering reparative. We are deeply drawn towards God, but we also sense how following him will dislocate and transform beyond recognition the forms which have made life tolerable for us. We often react with fear, dismay, hostility. We are at war with ourselves, and responding differently to this inner conflict, we end up at war with each other. So it is undoubtedly true that the result of sin is much suffering. But this is by no means distributed according to desert. Many who are relatively innocent are swept up in this suffering, and some of the worse offenders get off lightly. The proper response to all this is not retrospective book-keeping, but making ourselves capable of responding to God's initiative. But now if that's what sin is, then one can sympathize with a lot of the modern critique of a religion which focuses on the evil tendencies of human nature, and the need for renunciation and sacrifice. This is not because humans are in fact angelic, or there is no point to sacrifice. It's just that focusing on how bad human beings can be, even if it's to refute the often over-rosy views of secular humanists with their reliance on human malleability and therapy, can only strengthen misanthropy, which certainly won’t bring you closer to God; and propounding sacrifice and renunciation for themselves takes you away from the main points, which is following God's initiative. That this can involve sacrifice, we well know from the charter act in this initiative, but renunciation is not is point.”
Charles Taylor, A Secular Age“The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him.”
Socrates“Opportunity is being in God's place, at God's time, following God's instructions, to obtain God's results.”
Bidemi Mark-Mordi“The secret to following God's will, I discovered, usually is wrapped up in rejecting the good for God's best.”
K.P. Yohannan, Revolution in World Missions“When we're not following God's will, our sacrifices aren't acceptable to Him. What God wants most is for us to be broken before Him, walk with Him, know Him, and obey Him.”
Sarah Sundin, A Distant Melody“Religion is the world's label for following God. But, it is a one-on-one, daily and personal relationship that God seeks from all of us.”
Elizabeth Salamanca-Brosig“If a couple isn’t following God’s guidelines for life or being led by the Holy Spirit, disagreements and misunderstandings skyrocket.”
Elizabeth George
